The Gaelic Maundeville (Author: John Maundeville)

paragraph 135

Of the Land of the Women, of the Land of Job, and of Diamonds

And thence to the Land of the Women, and hard by is the land of Job whence those women bring men to cohabit with them, and if it be boys that they bear they send them to the fathers when they can walk, and if it be girls they burn off their right or left paps. And the queen that is over them governs that land well, and these women are always obedient to her.
